Rotimi Amaechi visits train accident scene, promise to improve safety advocacy.

Governor Babajide Sanwo-olu visited the scene of the accident at Oshodi involving a train and two vehicles in the company of the Minister of Transportation, Hon. Rotimi Amaechi. It is regrettable that this happened on the day stakeholders reached a consensus to close the gates into the arena.

The honourable minister said this is one of the concerns raised about commuters’ safety around the area. This accident should strengthen government resolve to prevent a reoccurrence.

This is also a clarion call on people to be safety conscious whenever they need to drive across the rail track.

If there is slow movement of vehicles at any railway bypass, we must keep a safe distance from the rail tracks. He said Government have rolled out advocacy on this and we will continue to intensify efforts. The safety of the people is paramount.
